It's a bit hard for me to suspend my disbelief. I mean...you don't just walk through lava like that. That aside, it was a pretty cool scene. The rest of the chapter was just classic we are getting our asses kicked, wait for our heroic comeback next chapter. I wonder what's with the written apologies...

No, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO
Arcadios is a bad guy. It is all according to his plan. He just cant be good with this kind of face.

Hmm... random speculation

Well the Princess wants Eclipse 2.0, and Arcadios sides with her. Maybe there are darker mages in the gov who have an Eclipse 1.0 plan. In that case Arcadios could have just been playing bad guy when they where around but secretly planning 2.0 with the Princess. Could be why he was worshipping Zeref on sec then planning to kill him terminator style... just thinking out loud.

Watch as Arcadios has magma powers (ala Akainu, One Piece) or a way to easily counter the lava and this all was really just an act with no threat to him. Manly and cool as it was, I still don't believe him to be part of the good guys...

That said...it would be nice if he actually was a good guy and his previews Zeref worshiping scenes were either a cover-up OR he was actually worshiping Good Zeref. Both are unlikely imho though...

but its kinda weird because Arcadio was first introduced as some Zeref-crazy fanboy whos supposed to be one of the antagonist of the arc but now he's the good guy... i don't really buy it. maybe because i'm too judgmental of his long nose *liar/this is an act to gain their trust*

Hmm... I wanna guyess that Arcadios has magic that allows him to walk through lava, but Horologium showed up to save him, which only happens when someone near Lucy is in mortal danger... and yet, no one should be able to walk through lava without their legs disintergrating near instantly, so perhaps he had some magic to protect himself, but not enough to save himself?

Either way, it was about time Lucy's spirits stepped in. With all 12 keys, this dude is going down. And judging by the way Natsu grabbed the other guy's sword/axe thing, his opponent is about to get a beat down. And such I think that all of them will, being only a minor stepping stone(Wendy can heal herself and Mira will do demon). Which means the real fights I'm looking forward to, will happen in the arena. I wanna see Minerva get her ass handed to her.

Yea that was really one big ass ass pull imo.
I mean the guy is going to great lengths to look GAR and awesome and make his death as awesome and flashy as possible, nothing quite like going through the pearly gates on fire and he was about to achieve that then what happens....he's saved by a talking grandfather clock.....yea way to put a dampener on his style

Other than that chapter showcases the "bad guys" moves which in most cases means next chapter they get curbstomped and Natsu already started that party.
Love the girls tho, hope to see more of them in the future, especially Kamika!
